RIHANNA: Details Night of Beating on 20/20

Rihanna’s 20-20 interview Friday night was surprisingly candid, as she confirmed reports that a text message from another woman led to her beating at the hands of Chris Brown in February. She told A-B-C’s Diane Sawyer, “I caught him in a lie. And he wouldn’t tell the truth… I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me. And he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it. And…it was ugly.” She also recalled “fending” Brown off with her feet once the beating began and thinking, “I just wanted it to stop. I kept thinking, ‘When is this going to end?’”

Rihanna also recounted how she called-off her reconciliation with Brown. “I just said to him, ‘I can’t do this.’ I resented him. I resented him so much… He knew it. He kept asking me, ‘You hate me, don’t you? You hate me.’ And I would lie and I would say, ‘No, no.’ And I did hate him. Everything about him annoyed me. So finally I just said, ‘We can’t do this. I cannot continue to do this.’”

RIHANNA: Shame on ABC

Rihanna was embarrassed and ashamed about reconciling with Chris Brown following the brutal beating she suffered at his hands last February. During the first part of her interview with A-B-C’s Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America yesterday, she said, “That’s embarrassing that that’s the type of person that I fell in love with, so far in love, so unconditional that I went back…You start lying to yourself. The minute the physical wounds go away, you want this thing to go away, this is a memory you don’t want to have ever again.” But the message she feared she might be sending to young female fans finally helped her walk away for good. “I couldn’t be held responsible for telling them, ‘Go back.’ Chris, even if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say that their boyfriend won’t?” Part two of the interview airs tonight on A-B-C’s 20/20.

A MIRACLE!!! BABY SURVIVES FALL ON TRACKS!

A six-month-old baby had a miraculous escape after his stroller rolled off a railway station platform and into the path of an incoming train. The stroller rolling towards the edge of the platform.The incident, which happened Thursday at Ashburton railway station in Melbourne, Australia, was captured by CCTV.
The footage shows the baby’s mother momentarily letting go of the stroller, which then rolls over the edge of the platform. Second later, a train pulls in to the station.The stroller and baby were dragged 30 meters further up the track before the train came to a halt.John Rees, a spokesman for train operator Connex, told Australia’s Channel 7 television station: “It’s a miracle this baby wasn’t killed. The baby managed to escape with just a cut to the forehead, I’m told. It’s a complete miracle.”The baby boy was quickly reunited with his distraught mother. He was taken to Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital but was later discharged.
Channel 7 said the incident came just a day after the launch of a public awareness campaign warning of the dangers of strollers on platforms.Victoria state police sergeant Michael Ferwerda told Channel 7: “Parents especially need to be vigilant especially with toddlers.”

David Letterman

David Letterman did another mea culpa about his recently divulged sexual indiscretions during last night’s taping of The Late Show. After making a typically self-deprecating joke — “I get in the car this morning and the navigation lady wasn’t speaking to me. Ouch.” — Letterman got down to brass tacks. “I’m terribly sorry that I put the staff in that position. And, moreover, the staff here has been wonderfully supportive to me, not just through this furor, but through all the years that we’ve been on television and especially all the years here at C-B-S… Now the other thing is my wife, Regina. She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it. And at that point, there’s only two things that can happen — either you’re going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you’re going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed, so let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me.”
